React multiple event handlers performance

How to bind handlers in React to multiple similar elements e.g. buttons on list?
Is it any better to use one handler and identify clicked elements (like it was in jQuery days) than binding them to each element?
Is it an "expensive" operation to bind an event handler in React?

TLDR; There is nearly no benefit from using only one handler bound to the parent container, but it is fairly important to avoid handler creation during rendering if you use Pure components as a children.

Overview

If you have a list of elements you may either set onClick property to each of rendered elements or create onClick handler in the parent container.
I will try to show the difference between those two approaches.

Example

There were 1000 fairly simple React components in this example.
Each component act as a button and shows its ID in the browser console in response to click event.

Description

And four ways of providing element context/information to event handler:

Arrow - wrapping event handler in arrow function, data as an argument

WithId - passing data through data-id and getting it through (event.currentTarget)

SingleHandler - passing data through data-id and having one shared handler (event.target)

MethodList - wrapping handler inside class method

Here are the results from Google DevTools Performance tab.

I've executed 17 re-renders and calculated avarage rendering time for each components list. Non of this re-renders was an initial render. Numbers from perfomance tab looks as follows (lower number is better):

17 ms RegularArrow

17 ms RegularSingleHandler

18 ms RegularWithId

20 ms PureSingleHandler

21 ms PureWithId

21 ms PureMethodList

64 ms RegularMethodList

73 ms PureArrow

Avarage render time of each components list as a bar chartChart rendered with amCharts 4 library

It is not a big suprise that PureArrow component was the slowest one, as for each re-render shallow equality comparison has to be executed and in each case component has to be re-rendered due to the fact that arrow function creates new handler function during rendering.

Surprising is the fact that RegularMethodList is second slowest way of event handling. I guess that that is due to the large overhead required for new component initialization, and on each re-render new component has to be created.

What surprises me about this test is the fact that there is no benefit from having a single handler attached to parent component as it will be beneficial in the jQuery times.
